The manager of a San Carlos Park construction company said someone stole several thousand dollars from his truck Friday.
Juan Hernandez, 55, of Naples, the construction manager for Pavon Construction Co., 7513 Morgan Road, told Lee deputies he cashed a check at a Western Union check cashing kiosk inside the Sunoco convenience store, 10351 Corkscrew Road, Estero. He drove to a nearby Publix store at 20311 Ben Hill Griffin Parkway to purchase envelopes, according to a Lee County Sheriff’s Office report.
He left the cash in the envelope inside his 2000 Ford truck and when he came out 15 minutes later, the door lock was tampered with and the money was missing, according to the Sheriff’s Office report.
The deputy verified Hernandez had cashed the check just after noon and purchased the envelopes at 1:15 p.m.
The exact amount of the stolen money was not released.
